Yes yes, I know a lot of people don't like him, and will be dumb enough to not even read my post and just start bashing him. Everyone bashes him, we know, you can save yourself the trouble. I just wanted to give a forum to the subculture of zoners who see the potential in Locker. I am one, and here are my thoughts as to why: -Elite elite elite physical tools -Elite intangibles -Legitimate team leader...and a guy teammates and coaches love -Clutch! He doesn't always make a play, but when it counts he does -Phenomenal footwork -I know Washington isn't good, but they just beat a top 20 team in a bowl game! that's huge for WA!!! He isn't Newton in this respect, but he IS a winner -Tough. Really f'n tough. Played hurt all year -Shows flashes of tremendous accuracy -Fantastic throwing on the run -Elite runner. Best running QB I've seen since Steve Young. Whereas VY and Vick are better runners, and more athletic, Locker is a much better decision maker regarding when to run and when not to. This fact makes him a superior running QB. When he does run, he's extremely effective -Perfect for the WCO Things that scare me: -Touch on his passes. Stop throwing the short passes so hard! -Is he too scared already? His accuracy would get worse as he got hassled more and more. Just started to play scared at times. Has that damaged him already? -Accuracy needs to be more consistent -Stop staring down receivers. I think he needs to get away form his first read quicker. -Not ready to play right away. Will need major coaching from Harbaugh

I wouldn't mind at all if we took Locker at 7. We need a FA QB anyway, so he'd have at least a year, maybe 2, to learn and improve his pocket passing. Other than that, he has everything else Harbaugh is looking for.

If he excels, then nobody will remember if we reached for him. It wont matter. If Baalke/Harbaugh are in, I'm in!

*sigh*

I think Aldon Smith could be a good player, but I'm worried I regret them passing on Locker almost as much as I regret them passing on Rogers. I think Locker will do well in Tenn.

Even thought we didn't take Locker, I feel justified having us take him at #7 in my mock draft now. I think he was probably the top QB on a lot of boards.

Oh well....

Hope we get Kaepernick!

I think (hope) it's a joke.
